The Dallas Mavericks have signed the free-agent shooting guard Monta Ellis, finishing off the final piece of their new starting lineup. It is reportedly a three-year contract worth $25 million to $30 million. Ellis will start alongside point guard Jose Calderon. The third new starter is center Samuel Dalembert. Ellis led the Bucks last season at 19.2 points a game, slightly below his career average.
